šŖLiving on Mars: What NASA, ISRO & SpaceX Are Planning
š How Close Are We?
NASA plans crewed missions by the 2040s. ESA envisions a European presence by 2040. SpaceX pushes faster timelines with reusable rockets. And India’s ISRO is preparing Mangalyaan-2—a bold mission featuring a rover, helicopter, and sky-crane system to land on Mars.
š§ Challenges of Mars
Mars is cold—down to minus 125°C. Its atmosphere is thin and mostly carbon dioxide. No magnetic shield means high radiation. And isolation can affect mental health.
š± Why Mars Still Gives Us Hope
Mars has underground water ice. Its gravity is manageable. A Martian day is just 39 minutes longer than Earth’s. Travel time is estimated between 7 and 9 months.
š§Ŗ What Scientists Are Testing
NASA’s CHAPEA missions simulate Martian life in 3D-printed habitats. Scientists are testing underground shelters, food-growing systems, and crew health under isolation.
š Final Thought
Mars isn’t just a planet. It’s a mirror—reflecting how far we’re willing to go to explore, survive, and evolve.
